Some good thoughts on these programmes

May 14, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

This letter was inspired by Dr David Hinds’s Politics 101 Wednesday, May 11.2022 edition. The programme had two parts. Part One dealt with the bulldozing of homes and property of the residents of Linden in Region 10. Part Two was a discussion on the US State Department Human Rights Report on Guyana.
In the first part Pastor Nigel London described the terrible plight/experience of those persons whose property was destroyed by agents of the PPPC regime in Linden. Viewers witnessed the graphic images from a video showing the bulldozer in action demolishing a woman’s home. Mr. London’s commitment to the struggle for justice for the victims must be supported by all decent and fair-minded Guyanese opposed to the brutalization of the poor and powerless in the society. It was heartening to learn that community action and support resulted in rebuilding a home despite threats that it will be demolished again. Pastor London’s call for a significant response from the community to let the rulers know in no uncertain way that the eye pass must stop is of paramount importance. His efforts at raising the matter internationally to highlight African oppression in Guyana is an appropriate initiative that will enhance our struggle. I stand in solidarity with the victims of this recent act of oppression of the rulers.
The second part of the program featured GHK Lall, Henry Jeffrey and Nigel Hughes discussing the US State Department Human Rights Report on Guyana, its importance for country and US intentions. Issues were addressed in depth and frankness rarelyachieved in public discourse on political matters in Guyana. This was commendable and for these reasons, I recommend the programme to all Guyanese, the masses, and the nation’s political leadership, inclusive of government and opposition. The issues ventilated by the distinguished panelists are of great importance to the Guyanese nation. I will not venture into the details since I want citizens to watch the program and be educated on the present and future challenges facing us as a nation. Hopefully, having done so make a conscious choice about where the nation goes. I made my decision.
I end with this conviction: the experience of watching the program will be worth your time and your attention. More importantly, having viewed the programme no one cannot in good conscience make the claim that “I did not Know”.
Yours sincerely,
Tacuma Ogunseye
